NEW STORY AHOUT THE DEAL.
81. Louis, March 14.-Tbe Republican
h, morning says: \ railway Official,
whose connection with the New York AMI
E,,ion and certain trans Mississippi roads,
.nc, Him most excellent opportunities to
know ~ lat is going on behind tue curtain,
aid int Night that no one need be sur
ur.,,d If, when the smoke oi the Baltimore
a Il n
Toreha and santa re Is found 10 be the
owner. lie said it vas no secret that the
tt,I.,on used its influence in Cur
n,v, favor when the Arthur-Klll
bridge bill was pending, and that the
..cc,,, Of that measure was due largely TO
Nchison's efforts. 1t was asserted by this
e,rtl,man that negotiations have been

afqais FOL more than xix months, and
Chat the hitch IN the deal last week was

and energetic rival controlling contlnu-
ou, line 81 road from ocean 10 ocean. The
NChisCn plan was, il seems, To procure tue
Mljmore aud Ohio through the Richmond
Te minal 0mpany so ths' It could pfriect
rs uilne for reaching staten Island under
cover. but the uncOvering OF the scheme
ain not defeat the original purpose. The
,0air ctors are pledged 10 have the Chicago
,xtcrsIon Of the Atchis0n completed ny
tsv. ISIS. and work on the Arthur
Eil bridge will be begun this spring, and
i.e structure completed before The wear
..cr,. This would leave the link between
Pla3clpbIa and the bridge TO cover,
which could very easily be done by the
,irc Chicago Is reached from the West,
ua,n The Atehison would have contlnn-
ou, line OF its own between san Francisco
and New York, much shorter than aaY
